Preliminary studies on red palm weevil as potential risk for palm trees in mediterranean basin
2012
The impacts of insect invasive species on human health and on agricutlture have attracted worldwide attention. However, researchers and policymakers rarely directly address the connection between invasive species and loss in natual and cultural heritages. Various attempts have been made to address the plants that are affected by invasive species but the links between these and loss in naturla biodiversity and heritage in botanical and historical gardens are largely lacking in the literature. We report a study on the Red Palm Weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorous ferrugineus (Oliv.) (Fig. 1) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) which is the most important pest of the palm date trees in many countries. RPW is …
Un corretto approccio alle tecniche di fotogrammetria low-cost: il caso di 123D Catch
2014
L’articolo si focalizza sulla possibilità di realizzare ricostruzioni tridimensionali del patrimonio architettonico, implementando un’applicazione gratuita della Autodesk che permette di trasformare le prese fotografiche in vere e proprie scene 3D. Il funzionamento del software si basa sull’automatizzazione di un processo di reverse modelling, così, assumendo sempre validi i principi della fotogrammetria, è possibile stimare e conoscere la posizione nello spazio di ogni punto fotografato (ovviamente, purché collimabile in almeno tre prese). In particolare, le macchinose operazioni di riconoscimento dei punti omologhi avverranno per mezzo di un algoritmo di cloud computing, non richiedendo q…

Con una pervasività ed una velocità inusitate, la disintermediazione ha impresso il suo sigillo sulla nostra era. È il principio su cui si fonda tutta la tecnologia dell’universo blockchain che, sostituendo tutte le istituzioni centrali con reti orizzontali, aperte e condivise di blocchi, valida le operazioni senza bisogno di controllori, notai o terze parti (di qui anche il discusso fenomeno dell’NFT, “non-fungible token”, permette di comprare un’opera senza il bisogno di una galleria/ un mediatore). Una svolta di enorme impatto che, dalla verticalità centralizzata con cui veniva dispensata la cultura dei corpi intermedi, giunge all’orizzontalità decentralizzata che connette gli individui,…

Dominare le nuove sfide della trasformazione digitale: dagli strumenti alla strategia
2022
For two decades now, digitalisation processes have been transforming our societies and our economic systems. The world of cultural heritage is no exception. Essentially perceived as a technical innovation, digitization appeared (pre-Covid) as the natural evolution of practices, with particular emphasis on aspects related to better conservation of heritage. The Covid-19 pandemic represented a significant, albeit disorderly, rupture and acceleration of this path, in particular in response to the need to adapt to the restrictions on social life and mobility that characterized the 2020-2021 period. Today, in the post-pandemic phase, it is important to analyze the new conditions in order to prep…
Setting up of a protocol of environmental research for preservation and right exploitation of the cultural heritage
2007
The research aims at collecting information on the state of preservation of the cultural heritage in Palermo, and deals more precisely with Vittorio Emanuele avenue, itself bounded by two city gates called Porta Felice (northern gate facing the Mediterranean sea) and Porta Nuova (southern gate) that both give access to the historic centre of the city. Another important purpose is the assessment of livability level, be it for workers, residents, cultural operators, or else visitors, with a particular interest in traffic noise. The research has been conducted by means of miscellaneous scientific duties; however we shall only refer here to two types of practice : the monitoring of environmenta…
Discovery of a novel state of the Jean Mignon signed etching of "Alexander gifting gold to the priests of Ammon".
2019
There are only two known prints signed by Jean Mignon, a decorative cartouche ("Io. MIGon. 1544") and "Alexander gifting gold to the priests of Ammon" ("Io. MIGon."). Until now, the latter was known only in one state and three proofs kept at the British Musem, the Arsenal Library and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 2016 the Dole city library purchased an album of prints that contained a different state of this engravong. A close examination further shows that the British Museum proof is actually from the same state as this Dole Library print.
Knowledge engineering and semantic formalism of symbolic relations. From medieval network to web 3.0
2020
A search has always been at the center of human concerns, the one of conditions and means to represent, to control well, and to communicate effectively with his environment. While technological advances and electronic gadgets such as smartphones, the Web, and online social networks currently allow addressing this concern, it has not always been the case. Our works in this thesis treat medieval documents considered as a medium of communication and as a model of the social network in the Middle Ages. These documents are called medieval illuminations. They were luxurious paintings used in that time to represent the environment and ideal world for elites such as prince, duke, etc. Those paintin…
Learning Environment in Light of Positional, Institutional, and Cultural Interpretations: An Empirically-Based Conceptual Analysis
2016
This study explores the possibility that the concept of learning environment (LE) is understood and interpreted differently by various users, depending on their relative positions in the educational system, institutional affiliation, and cultural heritage. The study employs a qualitative approach and is based on 14 semistructured separate interviews with professionals in the field of education. The participants in the study have been chosen from 3 different levels in the educational system (assistants, kindergarten and school teachers, and principals/county government representatives) and across different institutions (kindergartens and schools). The data reveal a clear pattern in which the…
